It isnt sh*t talk at all Johnny , its all there in black and white across the subaru forums of the world , car was "sold" on friday but was put back on donedeal on saturday before i ever mentioned the known issues of the hatch sti engine , timeline for anything said on here doesnt match with events relating to the sale of the car ,
i believe when i bought my car was well aware of the issues surrounding the motor , i also believe my car was showing early signs of failure but for the knowledge shared on the likes of scoobynet nasioc etc etc i had it sorted before i needed a major rebuild ,
and also i would add i would buy that hatch in a heartbeat , if i had the dollars , and was looking to move up the years but im happy with my own 2.5 ,
the 2.5 hawk sti is rare enough on here , gerry and pat have them but dont seem to have any issues .
